Also address integrity) 117 Costa Rica Avenue was constructed by an unknown architecUbuilder in 1921. The building was constructed in Burlingame Park neighborhood during a residential building boom in the 1920s. The City of Burlingame was first developed in the mid- to late-nineteenth century by wealthy San Franciscans desiring large estates in close proximity to the City. As the population grew, the need for services arose and a small town emerged in the late nineteenth century (around Burlingame Avenue, laid out in circa 1875, as well as Burlingame Square and Railroad Station, constructed in 1894). After the 1906 Earthquake and Fire, even more residents fled San Francisco, seeking refuge from the decimated city. Burlingame flourished after the Earthquake and Fire, and many residences and businesses, such as the Bank of Burlingame (1907-1908), were constructed at this time. In 1908, the town was officially incorporated. By 1920, the population increased to 4,107 and a residential building boom began that continued through the 1930s. (See Continuation Sheet) 611.

Significance (conYd): Resource Name or # 117 Costa Rica Avenue `Date O Continuation ❑ Update *Required information 117 Costa Rica Avenue was constructed in the Burlingame Park neighborhood, which was one of three subdivisions, including Burlingame Heights and Glenwood Park, laid out on lands formerly in the western section of the San Mateo Rancho, which was inherited by Joseph Henry Poett and later sold to Anson Burlingame in 1866. The San Mateo Rancho property was later sold to Wlliam C. Ralston in 1872 and Ralston began to develop plans for a residential park in this area as early as 1873. Initially, Ralstor hired William Hammond Hall to draw up a plan for an exclusive residential development to be called Burlingame Park. Burlingame Park was the largest of the subdivisions, and the development of these three neighborhoods is closely related. Hall's early plan was never realized, but work began on the residential development in the 1890s under Francis Newlands. Newlands commissioned Hall's cousin, Richard Pindell Hammond, Jr., to draw up a new plan for the subdivision. The plan "centered on a communal country club and featured winding tree-lined roads, ample lots, and polo fields for the residents" (Brechin, "Imperial San Francisco," 94). The land was subdivided and the streets were laid out in May 1905 by Davenport Bromfield and Antoine Borel. The neighborhood is located in close proximity to the Burlingame Country Club (established in 1893) and the neighborhood was officially annexed to the City of Burlingame in 1911. Burlingame Park was one of the earliest residential developments in Burlingame, along with Burlingame Heights, and Glenwood Park, and followed by Burlingame Terrace, Burlingame Grove, Burlingame Villa Park, and Easton. Burlingame Park is bounded by County Road to the north; Burlingame Park, Crescent and Barroilhet avenues to the east; Pepper Avenue to the south; and Bellevue Avenue to the west. Sanborn Fire Insurance maps indicate that Burlingame Park developed over a period of about fifty years. Modest residences were constructed within the subdivision in the early years. The town of Burlingame experienced a residential building boom in the early 1920s and the majority of the residences in the neighborhood were constructed in the 1920s and 1930s, including 117 Costa Rica Avenue. Many of these residences were designed in high architectural styles and were much grander in scale than the earlier residences. By 1949, nearly all of the approximately 250 lots were developed in Burlingame Park. The neighborhood today represents the progressive development of the subdivision from the time it was first laid out in 1905, through the 1920s building boom, to present day. 117 Costa Rica Avenue is an example of a Craftsman Bungalow, a common housing type constructed in the neighborhood in the 1920s. The property was tapped for water on 1 March 1921, and the house appears on the March 1921 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map (addressed as 119 Costa Rica Avenue). It had likely just been constructed or was in the process of construction when the Sanborn Map was produced. The property was owned by W.H. Thompson and Belle Z. Thompson when the house was built, but the frst occupants appear to have been Edwin H. and Frances F. Warner, who purchased the property from the Thompsons on 19 October 1921. The house was first listed in the Burlingame City Directories in 1922, with the Warners as residents. The Warners lived at 117 Costa Rica Avenue until 1927. During this period, Edwin Hall Warner was listed as a civil engineer and an architect in the Burlingame City Directories. Edwin attended New York University in the Polytechnic Engineering Department of the School of Applied Sciences. From 1884 to 1886, he was employed on the Mexican National and Mexican Central Railyways as Instrumentman and Assistant Engineer in charge of various construction works. From 1887 to 1888, he was Assistant Engineer and Acting Division Engineer for the Union Pacifc Railway Company. From 1888 to 1890, he acted as Assistant Chief Engineer for the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railway Company (later known as the Northern Pacific System). While in Seattle, Edwin married France B. Ferguson on 21 August 1890. From 1891 to 1898, Mr. Warner was in private practice in Seattle, Washington, and engaged in the development of mining propeRies, hydraulic power investigations, and the installation of mining power plants. He also worked as City Engineer for Seatlle on an extensive construction of sewers. From 1899 to 1903, he worked in private practice in Republic, Oregon, as Engineer for the Repubic Mining Company. The Warners moved to California in 1904, when Edwin became Chief Engineer of the Abbot Kinney Company, supervising the construction of canals and bridges for the entertainment destination of Venice, California. From 1907 to 1910, he was engaged in private practice in Los Angeles, designing irrigation projects, buildings, and ocean piers. He designed the Santa Monica Pier in 1908, one of fourteen designs proposed for the project. According to a 12 July 1908 article in the Los Angeles Times, he was the "consulting engineer" and "supervising architect for the pier." From 1910 to 1916, he was employed as a civic and electrical engineer by the South California Edison Electric Company. From 1916 to 1921, he worked privately on many projects, including concrete dams. After moving to Burlingame in early 1922, Edwin operated a private practice in San Francisco for a few years. However, in 1926, he was listed at 1231 Burlingame Avenue in the business district, and was mentioned in a 26 January 1926 advertisement in the San Mateo Times as "Edwin H. Warner, Architect and Engineer, Domestic Industrial Business." Mr. Warner was a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers. In 1927, he died of a heart attack at age 62 in his Burlingame office, and his wife moved out of the house following his death. According to a 17 June 1927 article in the San Mateo Times, titled "Civic Leader of Burlingame Found Dead in Office Today," he was not a prominent architect or engineer in Burlingame during the fve years he resided there. However, he contributed to civic affairs by holding positions on the Planning Commission beginning in 1922, and the Park Commission in 1926. While a member of the Park Commission, Mr. Warner surveyed nearly all the trees in Burlingame.

Alfred was an electrical engi�eer. He may have died in 1932, as Edward W. and Louise Hall were listed at the address in 1933, and Anna Crossman was listed alone at the address from 1934 to 1947. It appears that Anna may have rented the house to the Halls for a year. She was listed in the City Directories as a piano teacher after 1933. William A. and Emma L. Klammer were listed at the address from 1948 to 1952. Wlliam was a radio engineer for a company called Robison-Klammer. Bruce D. and Pauline Inman resided at 117 Costa Rica Avenue from 1953 to 1954. Bruce worked for the U.S. Navy. F. H. Foster was listed at the address in 1955. In 1956, Adalbert Bela (also known as Bela or Bert) and Rosa O. Furesz purchased and resided at 117 Costa Rica Avenue. Adalbert was the sole owner from 1992 to 2002. The Adalbert Bela Furesz Trust and Veronika Zuger Trust owned the property from 2002 to 2007. Adalbert died in 2007, and property ownership transferred to the Veronika Zuger Trust. On 11 January 2008, ownership transferred again to Andrew and Jolanda Zuger. Character-Definina Features According to McAlester's "A Field Guide to American Houses," distinctive characateristics of the Craftsman Bungalow style include: •Decorative (false) beams or braces under gables •Colums or column bases often continue to groun dlelve (with break at level of porch floor) •Low-pitched gable roof with wide unenclosed eave overhang •Roof rafters, usually exposed •Porches, either full or partial width with roof supported by square columns Evaluation: California Reuister of Historical Resources 117 Costa Rica Avenue is not currently listed in the National Register of Historic Places or the California Register of Historical Resources. The building does not appear in the California Historical Resources Information System. The City of Burlingame does not currently have a register of historic properties, and therefore the property is not currently listed in any national, state or local register. 117 Costa Rica Avenue does not appear to be individually eligibie for the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register) under Criterion 1(Events) for local significance as a resource "associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history." The building at 117 Costa Rica Avenue is associated with the residential development of Burlingame, as part of the Burlingame Park neighborhood. However, the property is one of many residences constructed between 1905 and the 1930s in this area, and does not have individual distinction within this historic context. DPR 523L M I State of California —The Resources Agency Primary # DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI # CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial Page 9 of 9 Resource Name or # 117 Costa Rica Avenue *Recorded by Page & Tumbull, Inc. "Date O Continuation ❑ Update 117 Costa Rica Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register) under Criterion 2(Persons) as a resource associated with the lives of persons important to local history. Historically, the house was associated with Edwin H. and Frances Warner. Edwin Warner was an accomplished civil and electrical engineer and architect, who worked on railroad, canal, bridge, pier, and dam projects throughout the western U.S. and South America. Although he contributed to Civic affairs, he was not a prominent engineer/architect in the City of Burlingame. Thus, 117 Costa Rica Avenue does not best represent the most productive period of Edwin Warner's career. 117 Costa Rica Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register) under Criterion 3(Architecture). It embodies the characteristics of a type and period, but it is one of many similar Craftsman Bungalow style houses in the Burlingame Park neighborhood. Therefore, it is not individually significant for its architecture. It would, however, likely be considered a contributing resource to a potential historic district. The property does not appear to represent the work of a master or possess high artistic value. This property was not fully assessed for its potential to yield information important in prehistory or history, per California Register Criterion 4(Information Potential). This Criterion is typically reserved for archeological resources, and therefore it is not evaluated as part of this report. The analysis of the building at 117 Costa Rica Avenue for eligibility under California Register Criterion 4 (Information Potential) is beyond the scope of this report. I nteq ritv 117 Costa Rica Avenue is situated on its original lot within the Burlingame Park neighborhood, with the same access pattern as when the building was frst constructed. It therefore retains integrity of location and setting. The building has experienced minor modifications to the exterior since construction, including the replacement of rustic wood siding with stucco, installation of four aluminum-sash windows on the northwest fa�ade and a sliding aluminum-sash door on the southwest facade. The wood siding was removed between 1932 and 1954, so integrity of materials has diminished. However, the building still represents its Craftsman Bungalow style, so integrity of design and workmanship is retained. It remains in use as a residence associated with the 1920s residential development of the Burlingame park neighborhood, and therefore retains integrity of feeling and association. Overall, the building at 117 Costa Rica Avenue retains historic integrity as a single family home in the Burlingame Park neighborhood, and continues to convey its contextual significance. Conclusion The residence at 117 Costa Rica Avenue is associated with early residential development in the City of Burlingame. It is representative of the Craftsman Bungalow houses that were built in the eariy 1920s. The building retains sufficient historic integrity to be considered a contributing resource to a potential historic district, but it is not eligible for individual listing on the California Register of Historical Resources. The City of Burlingame does not maintain a local historic register, and thus the building was not evaluated for potential eligibility as a local historic resource. Likewise, the building has not been evaluated as a potential contributor to a historic district, although a cursory inspection of the surrounding area indicates a high concentration of early 20`h century residences that warrant further study as a potential historic district. The California Historical Resource Status Code (CHRSC) of "6L" assigned to 117 Costa Rica Avenue means that it was "determined ineligible for local listing or designation through local government review process; may warrant special consideration in local planning." The designation is due to the property's potential to be a contributing resource to a local historic district. "612. References: - Brechin, Gray.
